Etymology

From Middle English logge, from Old French loge (“arbor, covered walk-way”), Medieval Latin lobia, laubia, of Germanic origin, from Frankish *laubja (“shelter”), from Proto-Germanic *laubijō (“arbour, protective roof, shelter made of foliage”) from Proto-Germanic *lauban (“leaf”), from Proto-Indo-European *lōubh- (“the outer parts of a tree, bark, foliage”). Cognate with Old High German louba (“porch, gallery”) (German Laube (“bower, arbor”)), Old High German loub (“leaf, foliage”), Old English lēaf (“leaf, foliage”). Related to lobby, loggia, leaf.
